"Jordan, I swear on all I hold most dear in this world, or maybe, just maay-be, all those things I don't, that-"
What had started off as the beginning to a perfectly good rant in true Coxian style broke off abruptly as Perry realized his ex-wife was not behind him as they crossed the parking lot. Now, of course, that would normally be a cause for outward celebration, but as he turned, he realized she hadn't just wandered off in the middle of his rant. Sacred Heart itself had wandered off.
This was new. And not a good kind of new either.
He studied the building behind him, shifting his son in his arms as he rubbed his nose briefly. It was definitely a hospital. All clear indicators of that. It was even one he was almost certain he recognized. It just wasn't Sacred Heart.
"Well, Jackie," he drawled, looking down at Jack. "We have a re-he-heally big problem."
Really, it just wasn't normal to step outside the hospital and find himself in L.A. This was definitely L.A., unless he was drunk, which might have been an improvement on this situation. Yet, despite the sheer hallucinogenic quality of this experience that should have left him slack jawed, and his temper rising, which admittedly was never really below the surface, he was already looking for explanations.
